- Win keeps Inter in the hunt for Champions League spot
- Matches rescheduled after death of Livorno's Morosini
- Leaders Juve and holders Milan play tonight
(CNN) -- Dutch international Wesley Sneijder scored twice as Inter Milan continued their renaissance in Serie A by beating Udinese 3-1, keeping their chances of European Champions League qualification alive in the process.
Sneijder's brace turned the match after Udinese had taken the lead through Danilo. A Diego Milito goal at the end of the first half all but sealed the win for Inter.
The result means that Inter Milan has been undefeated -- winning three matches and drawing two - since youth team coach Andrea Stramaccioni replaced Claudio Ranieri earlier this month.
Champions League football was but a distant dream for Inter, but 11 points from a possible 15 has left them just three points off third placed Lazio, who surprisingly lost 2-1 to relegation threatened Novara earlier in the day.
The unusually timed round of matches took place Wednesday afternoon, a rescheduling of the games canceled as a mark of respect for Livorno's Piermario Morosini, who collapsed and died during a second division game at Pescara.
In other matches Napoli, who are also chasing a Champions League spot, beat Lecce 2-0 whilst Roma lost again, this time 2-1 at home to Fiorentina.
In the day's two other games Siena drew 1-1 with Bologna whilst Parma won 2-1 away at Palermo.
Serie A leaders Juventus play Cesena tonight, whilst defending champions AC Milan take on Genoa.
